Erik Spiekermann is a renowned type designer and creator of such classic typefaces as FF Meta, ITC Oficina, and many others. Mr. Spiekermann will give a short talk on type and branding, followed by a Q&A.

In addition, Jason Santa Maria, Jeffrey Veen, and special guests will take the stage for a discussion about web typography, showcasing sites that get it right (and explaining how they did it).

I have been waiting on something like this to come up since I got into web design. I have been stationed at Travis AFB about an hour from SF for 3 years. Right now, though, I am in training in Alabama! Can’t believe I am going to miss this, but I wanted to thank you for putting it together. It’s things like this that give the newbies chances to network. Hopefully I catch you guys next time.
